Touch-screens are typically found on larger displays, in phones with integrated PDA features. Most are designed to work with either your finger or a special stylus. Tapping a specific point on the display will activate the virtual button or feature displayed at that location on the display. some phones with this feature can also recognize handwriting written on the screen using a stylus, as a way to quickly input lengthy or complex information.
